According to Variety, Devgn stated that the film's twists are unpredictable, even for audiences familiar with the psychological thriller genre.\n\nThe film, starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, and Jaideep Ahlawat, is set to release on October 2. As reported by the Free Press Journal, Devgn stated that he believes the film beats its predecessor, \"Drishyam 2\".\n\nDevgn also indicated that the franchise will end with \"Drishyam 3: The Conclusion\", suggesting that the story will be concluded definitively. Variety notes that this is in contrast to the Malayalam-language version of the franchise, which had an open-ended conclusion.",
